Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy led Democrats in a nearly-15-hour gun control filibuster on homemade sex video cream pieWednesday and into Thursday morning, and he seemed to save the most emotional testimony until the final eight minutes.
Murphy, who visited Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, after a gunman murdered more than two dozen teachers and students there in 2012 and has been a forceful advocate for gun control ever since, introduced those watching his filibuster to a six-year-old boy named Dylan Hockley, and his teacher, Anne Marie Murphy, both of whom were killed at the school on the day of the attack.

Know why we know that? Because when the police entered the classroom, that’s how they found Dylan Hockley dead, wrapped in the embrace of Anne Marie Murphy.”
